I looked at Raven as she was preparing the story for me. "Well Paige, you deserve to learn about Terra. Terra was a good friend at first… then, well, let me start at the very beginning." I yearned the truth about Terra. Raven cleared her throat.
"Okay, here's the truth, and nothing but the truth. We first found Terra being chased by a gigantic scorpion in a desert canyon. Of course, we came to help, thinking she was a normal helpless human being, bla bla bla… but she turned around, used her 'amazing' rock powers to kill the scorpion. I myself, think she was just showing off. Seeing she was homeless, we couldn't resist bringing her with us. We as in everyone but me. All I saw was an unknown person that, even though she had powers, could have been evil. I didn't trust her for a second." I agreed. "Yeah. I mean, you can't just take a homeless person with powers off the streets and invite them into your house." I realized I was exactly describing myself. "Wait… I need to rephrase that don't I?"
Raven giggled. "Young lady, do you want to learn about Terra, or do you not want to learn about Terra?" Raven was shaking her finger at me like she was lecturing me. A few seconds of silence passed, and we broke down in giggles. "As I was saying… So we invited her into our house, but there was one thing wrong. She couldn't control her powers." I looked at her in mock horror. "Gasp." We were giggling once again. "Ok… No more interruptions." Raven smiled. "Thanks. So Terra couldn't control her powers, Beast Boy found out, Terra told him to swear not to tell anyone else, he didn't, but everyone else found out, Robin told her to practice, Terra thought Beast Boy told them, she yelled at him, and she ran off." I smiled as a funny thought entered my mind. "Way to go Beast Boy, scare off the newbie why don't you." I smiled and winked at Raven. Raven smiled and continued her story.
"So, Terra came back, new and improved. That didn't fool me. I knew there was still evil in her, and she hadn't improved…other than the powers. She did seem to improve her trust with me, so that was kind of good. I later discovered Beast Boy found out that, well, that Terra betrayed him, and she was working for Slade. He's evil. The most evil guy you can get. Well, ok… my father's more evil than him, so I lied. But he is pretty evil. So Terra joined Slade, she was evil, and she tried to kill us. I told you she was evil, and that can prove it." My eyes widened. "Seriously? My gosh! She tried to kill you guys? How?" Raven frowned. Well, she tried to drown me in mud. That, my friend, was not fun. I couldn't get those stains out of my clothes for weeks!" I giggled.
"But here's the…sorta interesting part. We got out of our 'situations' alive, so that was good. But Beast Boy found Terra, and we found Beast Boy and Terra. She was about to crush him with the sharpest rock." I smiled. "Yay! I mean…oh my gosh! Who would do such a thing?" "Paige…how many times do I have to tell you, NO DISTRACTIONS?" I did my angelic look. "Sorry, my mistress." Raven smiled. "Ok. So that's where we came in, Terra about to kill Beast Boy. We told her not to do it. She said 'I can't! Slade's making me!' So Beast Boy came to the rescue. He told her she could make the decisions, she could chose what she could do, all that junk. She wasn't sure of that… because you see, the outfit Slade gave her, which, by the way, looked like it was a swimsuit covered in loose toilet paper, was controlled by Slade. Surprisingly, she resisted, don't ask me how, I don't know, but she aimed the pointy rock, right at Slade. So she had a little one-on-one battle with Slade, and she won. She overused her powers, created a volcano, lava and all, Slade fell into the lava, mask and all, and that's the end of Slade, bla bla bla.
Well, actually, no it isn't. My evil dad 'spared his life', just so he could help him destroy the world. Back to the topic! Terra's powers went way out of control, and the volcano would have destroyed us all. Luckily, Terra sacrificed herself to stop the volcano. Now you can see her as a stone statue in the cave we were in, complete with her outfit, flowers, and a little stone tablet reading 'Terra: a true friend, a true titan'. So, there's Terra for you!"
